This week's principal new feature is an automated reminder (and removal) service for subscribers who don't respond to the confirmation emails. After three days without a response, FeedBlitz sends a reminder note. If there is no response within three days, the subscriber is removed. They can always sign up again if they want to, but odds are they don't, and this simplifies life for everyone. So, publishers will see their "still registering" counts fall - some quite dramatically as we catch up with old users from back in August thought October - but after that it will be back to steady state again.

Other recent unannounced changes include SSL on the login submission and user profile pages to further protect your privacy, and the final defeat of the FireFox "Bad Request" problem.
